I do not own this character. The Dialogue is for auditioning purposes only. The audio does not go anywhere.

Personality:

Kaneki a shy boy, with Hide being his only close friend. He usually spends most of his time reading books, mostly novels. He is extremely gentle and appears to be optimistic most of the time. Influenced by his mother and a true testament of modesty, he willingly takes blame and punishment from others so that he can be someone who doesn't hurt people, but rather "the person getting hurt". However, this lack of assertiveness normally gets him bullied and taken advantage of.

However, beneath his selfless and gentle nature is an underlying fear of being alone. Ever since his mother died, Kaneki has developed his personality to resemble his mother's. He despises the idea of solitude, hence he tries to protect those dear to him so he would not have to face his fears of being alone in the world.

This is perhaps his greatest weakness and act of selfishness. Since Kaneki is always trying to protect others, he is essentially trying to protect himself from becoming alone again. Therefore to escape that scenario, he would shoulder the task of protecting others onto himself without looking for others to help him. This is also the reason why Kaneki seems to reject the notion of "living" because to him, watching others die before him is the beginning of returning to those lonely days without anyone behind him.

  • (Just the one line for this one. Nice and simple. I want to hear your protagonist speech. Really take time to create build up and suspense. It's a monologue.)

    It's not the world that's messed up; it's those of us in it.
    Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans,
    we can choose a different path altogether.
    We have a lot to learn, both your kind and mine.
    We need to stop fighting and start talking.
    Because when it comes to the state of the world...
    You can't point your finger at ghouls or humans.
    We're all to blame.

The performance is on point. The voice is on point. The plosives are a real problem. But you obviously get the character and the scene. So may the money you win today help you invest in a damn pop filter.
